Helicopters don't actually fly: they are simply so ugly, the ground repels them...!

Can't remember the last time I saw a Chook. I vividly recall they used to land at the fishery carpark in Mooloolaba back in the late 70's during the now defunct Prawn Festival to show the public.

I saw one of those Chinooks being flung around at Farnborough air show years back. Quite incredible!

Looks like you grabbed an MRH-90 Taipan - nice belly shot.

Cheers

Another visit by F/A-18F yesterday for the Canberra Skyfire event. Prior day must have been a trial run.

Our defence budget must be lacking...seemed liked 2 runs and that was it LOL
